THE MAN WITHOUT A BODY / Filmplays Ltd. - 1957

It's time to Recycle A Fifties Monster Movie with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots a fun little wild 'n weird Brit flick from the good old days of horror and sci-fi. Nice lobby card!

Eegah!! sent over this creepy soundclip from the movie, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there by the thermonuclear play dough coupler, NOW, Rufus The Gant! Here's our audio offering for... THE MAN WITHOUT A BODY!

Here are George Coulouris as the way too rich degenerate super prick, Karl Brussard, who's dying from a brain tumor, and Dungeon fave Robert Hutton as brain scientist, Dr. Merritt. We love Robert in THE COLOSSUS OF NEW YORK, INVISIBLE INVADERS, my two faves THE SLIME PEOPLE and THE VULTURE, THEY CAME FROM BEYOND SPACE, TORTURE GARDEN, CRY OF THE BANSHEE, TROG and TALES FROM THE CRYPT!

George is my pick as the most hateable, cold-hearted SOB in horror flicks. He's such a bitch in this, THE WOMAN EATER and BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB.

Dr. Merritt is working on some pretty damn weird experiments!.. Weird experiments dealing with re-animation!!

In fact, there are some things you're just not allowed to see!

Karl visits a wax museum, this tour guide tells tales of mystery, murder and mayhem from around the world.

But, Karl is most intrigued with the mind of Nostradamus.

So, with his money and influence, he steals the head of Nostradamus and takes it to Dr. Merritt to bring back to life! He wants the brain for his own.

I had to show this shot 'cause it's so cool!

Mission accomplished, the doctor can now communicate with the re-animated head of Nostradamus!

This is a great part where Karl has a seizure and the eyeballs are spinning around in his head!

Thing is, Nostradamus does not want to be alive again. Karl is foiled in the end when Nostradamus hangs himself and the head is severed from the body!!.. Weirdsville!!

DWRAYGER DUNGEON PRESENTS: The Monster Movie Music Manifesto

Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Spy, Super-Hero, JD, Thriller and Noir films, that's what we like, and a recurring theme in a lot of those kinds of movies has always been music! There were rockin' clubs and cafes with cool jukeboxes, teen poolside parties with local bands, sometimes it was a seedy bar with a sleazy torch singer, a beatnik coffeehouse, maybe dancing somewhere in outer space, or some weird tribal ceremony on a cool secluded island with giant monsters running around, and you could count on it that a lot of the time there was smoking and drinking going on. It was a fun time!! A lot of movies also had quirky, swingin', jazzy or rockin' themes or credits, or maybe just some wild Psychotronic elements! We started with the music from 50's & 60's Monster Movies, but we later morphed into the new, bigger and better, Rock and Soul, 70's brevity, 80's maybes, 1940's Gorilla and Bela site from Hell! So, sit down, and take a load off, pour yourself a cool one, and order up something hot and greasy, because we have a lot of tasty tidbits on the menu, way outside the realm of good taste! If any of the postings just happen to step on anybody's toes, let us know & we will remove them immediately, if not sooner!! We recognize all formal copyrights, and do this solely to support and promote the films featured! This forum is only being presented in a critical and scholarly critique, and should not be construed as anything else. It's just all for Fun & Historical Education in an effort to keep bad taste alive forever!!! If the words and pictures pique your interest, then please go out & buy, or rent the movies, wherever you can find them! All soundclips are approximately two minutes long, or just enough to give you a feel for the movie! When we post a sound clip, it will only stay up 30 days or less! These days, after getting hassled time and time again, we don't even do soundclips much anymore!!

Here are some good places to start your search for hard to find cult films on the internet:
